Visiting a Memory Care Facility is a pleasant experience. The facility is generally attractive, well furnished, well equipped and carried out efficiently. Patients are quiet, and sitting on a chair. There is very little sound in the room unless the TV is on or music is playing.
The staff is pleasant. They take care of the needs for the residents. This includes bathing, hair, clothing, medications and activities. Daily activities include three meals served to the residents. Staff also handles daily activities that include dance, music, board games, and puzzles. Sometimes family pictures are given to a resident to spark memory and/or to test memory.
Art activities such as coloring, painting and various crafty activities are provided. Sometimes science projects are included and some times even magic tricks. Some residents sit and watch TV on an ongoing basis. Sometimes an animal is brought in to soothe a resident.
However, some residents don’t participate. Instead they choose to sit in a chair and do nothing. Some have difficulty sleeping, become depressed, anxious and disruptive. These individuals receive calming medications.
Overall, the residents are treated with respect and kindness. However, something is missing, namely, brain exercises that residents can pick up and use whenever they wish that will strengthen synapse connections to improve their memory.
Unless memory is improved, residents cannot improve their everyday functioning that will allow them to eventually go home to their families or at least improve their daily lives while minimizing further decline.
There are steps that can be taken today to improve the lives of individuals suffering from memory loss, Dementia, and Alzheimer’s. First, set up at least one room using traditional Montessori methods. This can include each activity mentioned in this article and one more, inclusion of one or more Brainpaths devices to be used one or more times a day. Go to Brainpaths.com to learn how to use Brainpaths devices.
The reason for using Brainpaths devices is simple: tracing injected plastic textures on a Brainpaths device using repeated and persistent tracing strokes to indent into 3000 mechanoreceptors in each of 10 fingertips, located just under the fingertips. Repeated and persistent tracing of Brainpaths pathways provides Eric Kandel’s Hebbian tracking, namely: repeated and persistent tracing of pathways to fire and wire neurons in the brain, necessary for strengthening synapse connections that have been destroyed by Amyloid plaque in the brain causing memory loss. Brainpaths USPTO Utility Patent includes research demonstrating synapse connections can be strengthened with Brainpaths exercises.
This methodology can begin today as research studies are performed on Brainpaths that will outline new uses and better devices to provide repeated and persistent pathways to fire and wire neurons in the brain to improve memory.
Further, Brainpaths can be used for young healthy individuals as the brain develops in early years, and then continue with these individuals throughout their adult lives to maintain a healthy brain free of disease.
Brainpaths is also desperately needed for individuals with diseases and conditions other than Dementia and Alzheimer’s, such as Autism, Attention Deficit Disorder, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Post Traumatic Stress and Traumatic Brain Injury.
Join us on this exciting journey to make a difference in the lives of individuals suffering from all stages of brain disease, as well as ongoing steps that lead to opportunities to improve the lives of individuals with a healthy brain, in an effort to keep the brain healthy and free of disease.
